Divorce for denial of ‘conjugal bliss’ okay-ed by Delhi High Court

Delhi High Court has upheld a trial court’s verdict granting divorce to a man on the grounds that his wife had denied him “conjugal bliss” for about two months after their marriage and had levelled unproved allegations of adultery.

A bench of justices Pradeep Nandrajog and Yogesh Khanna dismissed an appeal filed by the woman, who had approached the high court against trial court’s June last year order granting divorce, saying there was “no infirmity” in it.

“We find no infirmity in the view taken by the judge, family courts, that the husband has been able to establish the grounds on which the marriage has been annulled,” the bench said.
